Rainy Market Day, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy

Today was market day in Lucca but, it got off to a wet start with an intense albeit brief spring rain shower.

Of  course, rain almost always means great reflective puddles for photos.........

.......and many brightly colored umbrellas for sale at the market. 

There are always one or two musicians at the market playing for the crowd. This busker stayed out of the rain in the nearby tunnel through the wall and serenades the passing crowds.

Later that day, I saw this scene heading home. I did all kinds of things to the image in post processing to try to create an old-timey sort of feeling. I adjusted the shadows, highlights, mid-tones, colors, tint, contrast, brightness, texture.  But frankly........

......... I think I like how it looked right out of the camera just as much.
